Artist Statement

My photographic work is a combination of expressionism and experimentalism. I work at night because of the mood it creates and the color/light combination that greatly interests me. I prefer a location that we see everyday and try to capture it in a unique way, both beautiful and strange. I have heard it said that my work takes the “familiar” and makes it “unfamiliar”. That sounds good to me.
